Instead of taking all the MP's holiday off, Brown will be doing some free community work, hats off to him!

A spokesman said: "The prime minister will be undertaking some community voluntary work during his time in his constituency.

"For obvious reasons he has agreed with the organisations concerned that any work he does will be private."

No 10 had been reluctant to confirm this for fear it might be seen as a publicity stunt.

No shameless depth plunged will save his career. The man is a liability in every respect. I said all along that TB wasnt so bad......

SunnySideUp

I also said that Brown would make everyone yearn for TB back again ........ I mean, the Eton Boyz aren't exactly Government material are they?

Simon 69

What do you think TB was?

So, old timer, you must know a bit about 50s music - what did you do your 'courting' to back in those days when you were a teenager,

I bet you must have loads of musical magic to share,?

It must be nice to be so financially secure in this climate to be able to take time off work, let alone do some volunteer work. If you think he's doing this because he's a decent chap then you need to get a grip on reality. And this is a laugh: "No 10 had been reluctant to confirm this for fear it might be seen as a publicity stunt.". I can just imagine the spin meeting.

GB: Ahhh niiice, a whole month off at the expense of the tax payers.
Spin Doctor (SD): This could be bad Flash, people dont like to see you having it so easy.
GB: Hmm, yeah good point. I need to make the sheep think I'm getting this country out of the dog doo.
SD: Why not keep working through your holiday this year?
GB: F off! I worked hard for this job, being Tony's b*tch, I'm going to take everything that due to me!
SD: Ok, how about just giving a little back to the community, make you look like you care.
GB: Great idea! I'll not tell the press so it'll look legit, but someone will leak it for me anyway, we'll get some good spin on that with the sheep.
SD: Spin ftw!

Can you imagine what taking a whole month off would have done for his public image. Mind you, it'd be nice to have even the other three weeks off, unlike a lot of the country that will be working without a break, all year to save their own bacon in this screwed up economy.

Trouble is even if he genuinely was doing it for the right reasons no one would believe him anyway so why bother.

Lots of MPs work with their constituencies druing the summer break. Its hardly something new or anything to get excited about.

Parliament may be "closed" but they are still employed to do a job.

Total spin, and not worthy of any of Pete's nonsense.

If the spokesman had, however, said "The PM will be undertaking various community projects during the summer break as he, and many other MP's, do every year" then I might have given the fat, oneyed, arrogant, ***** some credit.

PaulC72

Its right he should be doing community service it's what the criminal have to do and he s no more than one himself so it seems quite fitting really.

David Lock

He should be doing work at "Her Majesty's Pleasure", not for the community.........

I am not his biggest fan but I dont see the problem, you wouldnt have batted an eyelid if he p1ssed off on holiday, ok it may be contrived but it may set an example to the feckless, lazy and selfish in this country of which there are a lot.

jonc

...and then he'll claim the whole lot back on expenses!!

SunnySideUp

Well, you are a cynical lot .... the PM decides to do some work in the Community and he gets slagged off.

I think your attentions should be aimed at the worthless, scumbag, underclass of this country ... the pondlife of which there are many.

You should not be spitting venom at the very man who has saved us from a depression! The history books may even show that he, and his actions, saved the western world from collapse! He needs some respect. That said, I will not vote Labour!

Do you really think that we want the bloke who lied about just about anything to us and was in cahoots with the bloke over the sea to go to war a year before it happened and turned this country not only into the US lapdog to enhance his own career but also turned us into a primary terrorist target back in charge here?

I think you have to agree that NL has been the worst thing that has happened to this country and has also destroyed Old Labour who at least used to have some regard for the people of this country, even if they were incompetent when it came to the economy.

With this lot we have the incompetence as mentioned above as well as the gross dishonesty shown in just about any governmental initiative.

They have used the people of this country and are preparing to hand us over to the Eu lock stock and barrel once again for their own selfish purposes.

Say what you like about the opposition, I still hold that they are the only ones with the ability to rebuild the economy as they have done repeatedly in the past, as painful as that is surely going to be.

Devildog

Because its either spin, or so badly presented it looks like spin.


they are, and and yet you keep on posting Pete

Now that really is funny



Why?

SunnySideUp

Why?

Because they went back on a Tory promise to safeguard my Pension, you would have thought that Labour would have looked after the working man - but no, they stabbed us in the back and it is costing me £1,000's ........ that's why I will never vote Labour again.

I am also old enough to remember the Tory 'Don't Care' Party in power - if you want an "I'm alright Jack" Party the Tories are your outfit ...... and they haven't changed their spots!!

Sadly, that's about the only offerings ... and both parties are pathetic, lying *****!

You may not like it, but SSU has hit the nail on the head there

douglasb

Pete may have (inadvertantly) hit another nail on the head by saying

and then saying

Who do most people think that Labour support? The ordinary working man, or the pondlife?

There you go, you got a reaction out of me too. Well done.

Zzzzzzzzzzz

SunnySideUp

Snazy - I'm really surprised that it affects you so ..........

This thread is a week old!

Snazy

Not sure how relevant the age of the thread is really, but hey ho

Affect me, far from it. Just voicing an opinion. If thats ok under Labour?

SunnySideUp

And there's me thinking that you had fallen asleep

Rudolph Hooker
